Greg, I think you done the right thing by purchasing the mixer. I have concrete i need to pour and I'm pretty much gonna do what you did only when I'm done pouring concrete I'll sell the mixer. BTW, concrete looks 👍

After I'm done with it I'll sell this one also. I have a couple other jobs im going to use it for before then. I purchased this one online through loews. I think it was $369.
 
I finished up the last 2 sections of the concrete walk today.

I’ve repaired many a tire in days of old. Well before the 2” limitations they have now. Can’t believe an allen wrench could do any damage! Chuck

Yup, I get to drive on jobsites a lot in my business, (only 6 days left though). So's I gets lots of stuff in tires. 3 of the 4 on my jeep I plugged when told by the shops they could not and I needed new tires. Been doing this game for too long and patched too many tires to fall for that BS.

Had an influencer that said this would work - guaranteed. Tried it, but did not work

But don't think they make a plug this big! No, not mine, but did have a piece of a 2x4 cause a flat once.

Once a year the red land crabs would migrate to the ocean to lay their eggs. Some years there were so many squished the roads got slippery. And the smell would cause your eyes to tear up. But the lower portion of the legs is nearly solid and strong enough to puncture a tire if it hits it just right. There were plenty of flat tires during the crab migration. The migration also signaled the start of tarpon season. I think the billions of crab eggs brought in the baitfish, which in turn brought in the tarpon.

We now return you to Greg's cement job.

Warm and sunny. Full of pollen in the air though! Wife and I are both aching!
Drove my tractor with the air conditioning and cabin filter for about 5 minutes before I pretzeled one of the skid wheels!!!!
Jumped on the rider and at least got the front yard done. Suffering for my efforts even though I changed clothes and jumped into the shower immediately.

You will ask yourself how you managed to get so much done when you were working. Ironic part is I used to go to the office to rest.

We'll see! First official day of being 70 and being unemployed. Weird feeling not going into the office.

Way to go big Mike, don't fret you'll find plenty of things to occupy your time. 70 ain't nothing, heck buddy I'm 74 and feel like I'm 90. 🤣
 
Found out that my f250 requires aa special key like a wheel lock to lower the spare tire down from underneath the truck. Of course I bought the truck used and didn't get the key. I'm still exploring options as to how to get it down without cutting the cable, which is what the dealer wanted to do. Gonna check with a few friends that have ford pick ups and see if any of their keys match.
